Pierre – “The things which we intuit are not in themselves what we intuit them as being.” Perhaps that might not quite be true, for intuition, i believe comes from far deeper within us than our mere judgments. Judgments come from our experiences, prejudices, opinions, outlook and such, and institution from something deeper than what we can place a finger on. The only way I can describe it is that institution moves us – it is soul-felt.

What a very wise and true quote. What we see is all a matter of our perspective! Thanks for sharing.

Then again, “truth” would simply melt away with the wind, as those birds are liquefied into the glass of water.
The things which we intuit are not in themselves what we intuit them as being. Immanuel Kant

goldenferi, I have to play catch up as well – I’ve fallen behind lately myself.
